< Psalmorum 43 >
1 psalmus David iudica me Deus et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me
Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 quia tu es Deus fortitudo mea quare me reppulisti quare tristis incedo dum adfligit me inimicus
For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua
Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
4 et introibo ad altare Dei ad Deum qui laetificat iuventutem meam confitebor tibi in cithara Deus Deus meus
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5 quare tristis es anima mea et quare conturbas me spera in Deum quoniam adhuc; confitebor illi salutare vultus mei et; Deus meus
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
